Retirement planning in Kansas looks different for every household. We help you understand how an annuity could fit your income plan.
An annuity is a contract with an insurance company that can help you save for and fund retirement.
Fixed annuities credit a set interest rate for a period of time, which can make growth predictable.
Indexed annuities credit interest based on a market index, subject to caps, with protection from index losses.
Income annuities turn a lump sum into payments that can last for a set period or for life.
Most annuities limit withdrawals during the first years. Early withdrawals may carry surrender charges and tax penalties.
A licensed Blue Peak advisor can review your options and help you request a quote.
Here are a few ways Kansas residents use annuities.
Kansas retirees, including those who sold a farm or business, sometimes use annuities to turn a lump sum into steady income.
An annuity can add guaranteed income on top of Social Security and pensions.
Use these questions when you compare quotes or review your current policy:
The Kansas Insurance Department (KID) licenses the insurers and agents that sell annuities in Kansas. If you have a question about a claim or a company, KID's consumer services team can help, and you can confirm any agent's license on the Kansas Insurance Department website. Kansas also has a life and health insurance guaranty association that protects policyholders, within set limits, if a licensed insurer fails.
Kansas families and employers often review life, income and retirement protection after a change in work, a new mortgage or a new child, and rural households may need coverage that also protects a farm or small business.
